Anthropomimetic Machines No matter how closely a robot resembles a human on the outside, if you crack it open, the jumble of wires is unlikely to bear much resemblance to our insides. A group of European researchers aims to bridge that gap--its robot prototype is anthropomimetic, meaning it mimics the human form.

There's a skeleton made of thermoplastic polymer, actuators that correspond to each muscle and kiteline as tendons. 2. Yesterday's fuel cells, like those seen here on Spacelab, require a hydrogen infrastructure. Coal is dirty, and fuel cells run on hydrogen--that's the conventional wisdom. 3. For the past five years, scientists at the University of Alberta in Edmonton have been working on the Human Metabolome Project, a database of the 8000 naturally occurring metabolites (that is, small molecules involved in chemical reactions in the body), as well as 1450 drugs, 1900 food additives and 2900 toxins that turn up in blood and urine tests. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Light Blue Optics at CES. London Gets First Electrified Roads That Charge EV's Wirelessly. It's no secret that toxic, heavy, and expensive batteries are the Achilles' heel of electric vehicles. But that's all about to change. Just yesterday we were talking about a super-lightweight car that draws its power from the road itself , but today we discover that it's not just a concept.

The world's first commercially available wireless induction charging system is set to debut in London. The HaloIPT system will charge electric vehicles via Inductive Power Transfer (IPT). On a consumer level, you will be able to purchase a 2 piece system including a power source with charging pad and a pickup pad with controller switch.

What this means is that your electric vehicle simply needs to be parked -- or even driven (more on that in a minute) -- over a charging pad and the battery begins charging automatically. The IPT system can also be used to charge eBikes and heavy goods vehicles. Inhabitat reports , How about using them in open highways and interstates to extend the travel range of EV's?
